My fingers were freezing, why I chose to sketch outdoors whilst I waited for my elderly parents to have their hour massage is baffled me. I did have second thoughts, but I really wanted to take the opportunity to do a standing sketch (every possible place to sit was wet due to the rain we […]

For our monthly Perth Sketchers meet up I decided that Wolf Lane would be the place to visit. There’s so many laneways in Perth that have been “funktified” (is that a word? I don’t know sounds good though). Not a huge laneway but interesting in that there’s little cafes and bars that have been re-established […]

I haven’t been able to climb since injuring my shoulder. I’m very much a novice when it comes to rock climbing but I thought I would give the upcoming boulder competition a go at the strong “encouragement” of the instructors and other parents. So after much procrastination and hesitation I jumped on the bouldering wall […]

I had a little arty getaway with some arty buddies (not my sketchy buddies, same same but different!) . These ladies are exceptionally talented exhibiting artist, ranging from realism painting to, whimsical naive, abstract, mixed media, semi abstract and still life, and heaps of fun. We visited quite a few galleries whilst in Margaret River […]

Day 2 on Rottnest and this is how I decided to capture my day, through windows! 1. Trying to find the Bunker After walking about 15 mins down this road we realised (not long) we were walking in the wrong direction but decided to keep going to explore. After all we had no […]

Happy New Year!!! It’s the 4th day of the year 2016 and there are some of us who make new year’s resolutions, some of us who don’t and some who make them then fall out of love with them. I tend to be in the latter category. So what’s changed and what’s different for me […]

So finally here I am Day 1 on my overseas sketching trip! Rottnest Island is overseas right? I did have to cross the Indian Ocean to get here 🙂 Well, to be honest this is actually Day 2 because Day 1 (or zero) we didn’t do too much but relaxed, chilled and paced up and down […]

100 years of ANZAC history celebrated today. Every year, for the past few years we’ve attend dawn service in Kings Park but this year we paid our respects and remembered the men, women and families who gave their lives for the freedom and lives we have today, at the North Beach RSL. Where did you […]

For years since I was in my early 20s I’ve driven past this place, or at least this street, wanting to go in but never stopped to do so. So when a friend and I decided to catch up for a sketch date I immediately suggested here. It met my expectations and more!!! Books, food, […]
